Sergio Francisco Romo Bio Info

Sergio's father, Frank, was born to a Mexican farm laborer who immigrated to the U.S. when Frank was a baby…Frank played first base for a semi-pro team in Mexicali, not far from the family's home in Brawley…as soon as Sergio was out of diapers, he went with his father to games to run around the bases and play catch... As a high school sophomore, he rode BMX bikes… he saved up $400 from his paper route to buy a bike…one day during baseball season, he came out of a flip on his bike and landed on his head, suffering a concussion and broken collar bone… he was airlifted to a trauma center, where doctors first thought he was paralyzed…for five days, he was in and out of consciousness…he recovered but couldn't play the rest of that season... Sergio has an elaborate tattoo on his right bicep of monster faces that capture different sides of his personality…the largest image is his inner demon, conveying his competitive drive…a melting face represents his fear of letting his life go to waste…other images represent the prankster within himself, his fear of failure, his innermost secrets and previous foolish mistakes... He has two sons, Rilen and Ryder…below his elaborate tattoo is a newer one: large praying hands with Rilen's name on them…he says they represent his son praying for him to walk the straight and narrow and to be a good father... He was 5'7" when he graduated from Brawley Union (Calif.) High School and received no offers from four-year colleges…his father urged him to join the Navy after high school, and Sergio took the entrance test and had the enlistment papers in front of him but didn't sign…he convinced his father to let him try a year at community college.
